@agnes@pdx.social Good point. But consider whose convenience you are centring. It is the person who 1) can't read my language and 2) wants to communicate _between_ language communities.
Consider instead the grandparent who reads my language, but not English, and wants to communicate _within_ their language community. (And, Thai or Arabic may be better examples than Japanese, because they use Latin letters less.) For them, a handle which they can easily read and type is much easier than a foreign one they have to decode. And I suspect that communication within language communities is much more common than between language communities.
"Inclusive" means including more people when designing systems. Even people not like the designers.
